I’m so glad I have a few of you interested in how I’m evaluating our homeschool! Here are the questions I’m going to give my children: 1. What is your favorite thing about homeschooling? 2. What is your least favorite thing about your homeschooling experience? 3. What is your favorite subject? Why? 4. What is…
Evaluating Your Homeschool
It must be something about the season. It’s spring here. The trees are getting green, the azaleas are just about ready to bloom. Everything is fresh and new. I love it! It gets me in the planning and organizing mood. It’s not just the house I want to organize. I’m so ready to start planning…

Flexibility
I’m generally an organized person. I may not write everything down, but I’ve always got a plan in my head. I think that organizing is my way of maintaining control. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, actually for the most part I think it’s good to have a plan. But sometimes we have to…
Reading Kingdom
